Entrance themes are my favorite part of wrestling. They also happen to be in my estimation one of the most criminally overlooked aspects of wrestling. A great entrance theme can really make a character, whereas a shitty entrance theme can break one. Seriously, imagine Stone Cold without the glass shattering or The Rock entering to Michelle McCool's theme and tell me that entrance music doesn't make a character.
So let's talk about themes in WZCW. What made you pick your entrance theme? Who has the best theme right now and why? Who has the worst and why? Who should change their theme?
I picked Tank! for several reasons, primarily because it fits Saxton perfectly. It makes a great theme for the same reason it made for a great opening theme to one of my favorite shows, Cowboy Bebop - It's high energy with a fantastic hook. The sound just suits Saxton to a T as well. I really can't think of a better theme for him, though I do have an idea for if he turns heel and if he wins a major singles championship.
As for best theme? Barbosa. Both of them. Change (In The House of Flies) is an incredible track, and perfectly sinister. Kylie Minogue is about as far away from that as possible. Their interchangeability works wonders with the character. Really though, I can't put over "Change" enough. Such a good song, and SUCH a good theme.
Worst is tougher to pick. There are quite a few guys who really need a theme change in my eyes, but one that immediately springs to mind is Grand Mystique. He's already said that he picked the theme because it was one of his favorite songs - which is something you REALLY don't want to do, unless the song just happens to work really well. Headstrong's a fine song and all but holy hell it's so generic, and for an interesting character with an interesting gimmick it's about as far away from that as you want to go.
Now, when I think "supervillain" and "destiny", I don't think mainstream early 2000s rock. I think of something grander, more sweeping. Maybe some orchestral, or some power metal, or something menacing. Hell, maybe even some rap with a choir or a hip-hop beat a la Ty. I really like the new character but the theme really needs a fixup.
Actual suggestions, though, is where the hard part comes in. Something like this I think sounds pretty cool and grand. And besides, no one remembers Lars Reidar, amirite?:
If you don't mind giving Dagger a boner every time you compete and don't mind going with an arrangement of an already well-known villain song, this is one damn incredible track:
And this is cheating since it's already the theme of one of my favorite heels in another fed I'm in, but it's legitimately one of the best entrance themes I've ever heard. It just works so well.
I'm not trying to single you out - I'll probably post a few more suggestions for many different people as this thread (hopefully) goes on. Mystique was just the first to immediately come to mind and that's good because of his solid and workable gimmick making it easy to make suggestions about.
So, yeah, everyone. Let's discuss themes. Best, worst, whose you'd change, and why you picked yours.
